I feel like honesty is super important to freeing my self from addiction, as hard as it is to admit (it’s super hard) there has been to many lapses in seeing things for me to in good conscience continue this streak. I am restarting, tom is day 1. Another attempt at pure 30 days from inappropriate images. (Ps if anyone is reading this if ppl can interact a little so I can feel a little accountability. Thank you)

You fell down, shake off the dust, take pride in your accomplishment, and get back up with the realization that your much better off than when you first started. Now ask yourself, what am I going to do differently this around, so that I’ll be able to do better. Have you tried reaching out to HHM yet? Posting on this wonderful site, is a great start, but it doesn’t hold a candle to picking up the phone a talking to a real live person, who by the way has tons of experience and a great big heart, who will likely understand you better that you understand yourself. I remember when I first came to the site, I was taken by the concept of a steak, and I thought, that’s it, I’m good to go. Well what do you know, 42 days later, I found myself back to where I started. So I picked up the phone and called HHM. It was the best thing I did for myself. He has helped countless people break free, and although it might be scary at first, it’s so worth it. It might just change your life, like it did for so many others. Don’t travel this journey alone, if you can travel it with friends that care. We’re all rooting for you.

I don't have anything to add to amevakesh's beautiful and compelling words.
All I can add is to second this idea and say that I am where I am today because I worked up the courage, picked up the phone, worked up the courage again, called IWLR, and then a few days later reached out to HHM. (michelgelner@gmail.com)
It was a total gamechanger for me.

Please seriously consider it.

(And there's other people, too - like amevakesh! Also eerie, chaimoigen, chosemyshem, and many others...)
Feel free to reach out and say hi!

Day 1: made it through, def fought. But happy at the end of the day. I will really consider it. Is the only way to communicate with HHM through phone call?

Not the only way, but definitely the most effective. You can email him or PM him. He will then give you his google voice number if you want to speak to him. Do yourself the favor of your life. PLEASE, JUST DO IT. We're all rooting for you. Keep on rocking!

If HHM is too intimidating (which he's not), try reaching out to Muttel. He'll teach you how to muster up the courage and make friends quickly. I think he had circle of about 20 friends before 3 weeks went by. It can be hard to reach out at first, but it's so worth it. It's like jumping in to a cold swimming pool, hard for a second, but as soon as you start swimming, it becomes invigorating. Try it. Your life will never be the same.
